It's good to see you again." And with those frigid words, karma kicked his ass and blew his dreams into a million tiny fragments. Paxton Bennett walked away from a privileged upbringing to devote his life to La Vida de Ensueño, the socially responsible luxury resort he manages in Costa Rica. No way will Pax let a hotel chain swallow up La Vida and turn it into another lifeless clone. All he needs is a loan so he can match a buy-out offer. Unfortunately, every damn bank keeps saying no. He has one last hope--an on-site visit from a loan officer that he's sure he can impress... Banker Sage Somerset doesn't want to see Pax Bennett across a busy coffee shop, let alone spend a week at a tropical resort with him. After their cringe-worthy last encounter, just hearing his name makes her blush or curse. Plus, there are snakes in Costa Rica. A lot of snakes! Determined to remain professional on her unwelcome assignment, Sage hopes she can survive a week in Pax's world... But a quirky staff, meddlesome family, and the night-time visit of a tiny green gecko soon threaten to turn business into pleasure. Will Pax and Sage fight their troublesome chemistry? Or will they take a chance on the biggest venture of all--each other? less

With no ties holding him down, Logan is able to enjoy any of the beautiful places and many of the beautiful women the world has to offer. And he does. Or at least he did right up until the moment he impulsively invites Kat, a woman he has vowed not to touch, to live with him for the summer. Being close to the gorgeous, fiery, and completely off-limits Kat shoots Logan’s relaxed vibe to hell and, even worse, makes him begin to question the safe, unattached lifestyle he's vowed to maintain... less
